A man has been taken to hospital after becoming trapped under a car in Pengam.

The incident, which happened on Commercial Street at around 11am on Friday March 10, saw the road closed, with diversions in place.

Police said the man was doing mechanical work on the car when he became trapped.

His injuries are not considered life-changing or life-threatening, police confirmed.

Gwent Police officers attended alongside paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service and Welsh Air Ambulance, with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service also in attendance.

The road has since reopened and there will be no further police involvement, Gwent Police have said.
